1 fanmix for challenge #32: Rock The Holidays @ landofart
A few notes:
- I figured all the classics would have been done ten times over anyway (we have a lot of people...), so I actually went out of my way to come up with something totally different... which just so happens to be mostly gloomy. Doesn't mean Christmas depresses me! ^^
- yeah, I know the U2 thing might look a bit weird in that already haphazard collection, but, despite the already not-so-cheerful political content of the song, something about it always makes me feel... lonely. Or something. Definitely has a depressing quality to it.
-yes, the title of the collection is the title of an Amorphis song :D
Blink182 - I Won't Be Home For Christmas
It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year
I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone.
Weezer- The Christmas Song
You told me you would be here by my side
Warming my heart on this cold winter's night
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself
You told me you would move heaven and earth
Cheering my spirits with laughter and mirth
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself
Tom Waits - Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis
Hey Charley
For chrissakes
Do you want to know
The truth of it?
I don't have a husband
He don't play the trombone
And I need to borrow money
To pay this lawyer
Joni Mitchell - River
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Counting Crows - A Long December
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
Linkin Park - My December
This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
Jesu - Christmas
To be honest, I have no idea what most of the lyrics are, it just sounds totally awesome!
Type O'Negative - Red Water (Christmas Mourning)
Wake up, it's Christmas mourn,
Those loved have long since gone.
The stocking are hung but who cares?
preserved for those no longer there.
...
My table's been set for but seven,
just last year I dined with eleven.
U2 - New Year's Day
Yeah...
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
Old Man Gloom - Christmas Eve parts I, II, III
